One was a brand new Black V up near Lehigh University, and the other V was Platinum. I got a thumbs up from the Platinum V driver after I pulled along side of him, but he wouldn't run ( I want to see if my V's as strong as an '05 ). The guy in the Black V stayed away.... he stayed way behind me and had no intentions of running through the back roads. Probably because his V was new, and he didn't want to push it... Overall, I'm surprised at the tame nature of these other V owners.

I bet they're not forum members.

Vrocks - Where are you from? I live in Bethlehem, PA, went to Lehigh University and I've been on the south side of Bethlehem with my '05 several times. I generally go to Sal's Pizza on Fridays. I don't think you saw me 'cause I know I would have seen you. Note: I've seen one black one on the road so far, and it was driven by a female (not that there's anything wrong with that.)

Enjoy Alexandria. Take a $5 cab ride up to Lindsay cadillac and you can see not only a V, but the factory-authorized wannabe known as the VXi.

Sorry no V meets in the next few days as far as I know.

I just saw the first V (other than my own) on the road today. Heading north on the 215 frwy in Riverside Ca. It was a Platinum one, looked like he was as surprised as me to see another one on the road.

Reston VA 7:45AM..

Spotted a Light Platinum on Weihle Ave just north of Sunset Hills. 610, was that you? Could not get the guy's attention as I was in my Audi. The weather forcast called for rain, so the V stayed in the garage today

Redline CTS-V · #**143** (**permalink**) 04-29-05, 09:42 AM

Had a Black V roll up next to me as I was getting off of 395 onto 495, he revved (sp) the engine

and took off down 95. I think it had Georgia plates on it...

No, not me. I am in the mustang today since it will rain and it is already dirty. This means that I will see redline CTS-V on the beltway on the way home, since every time I am in the mustang I seem to see him (not so true lately since I have been using the mustang a bit more due to the nice spring weather)

Been expecting to see you the last few times it's rained...

Hmm, I also saw a black V, heading North on 295/Kenilworth around 8:45 AM, near the Suitland exit. I was heading south. I only got a a realy quick look, but it had the Mesh grill, and the V badging. Didn't get a chance to see the wheels.

I saw the first one in motion since I've owned mine, 6 months. It was black driving in Acworth GA. Ofcourse I live in NJ and wasn't driving mine but I did have my "owners" v-shirt on.:coolgleam

Suitland? was it on fire, on the side of the road, up on blocks?

Heh, you know lovely Sourth East DC all too well.

There are always 'dead' cars between Minesota Ave, and Polk St, on the Northbound access road off of Kennilworth. I'm surpirsed State Farm, Nationwide, and Allstate, don;t just permanantly station an adjuster there. Sorta looks like Beruit.
